Hi, I think they’re crab spiders. I just wanted to answer your question quickly. They hunt insects by disguising themselves as leaves, flower petals, and tree bark. Their prey is often venomous and/or large, like bees and wasps, so they have to move quick to grab onto the prey and kill it before it can fight back. That probably doesn’t make them sound less scary, but it’s at least impressive I hope. If you’re using firewood, that might be how they’re entering your house. There’s thousands of species, I don’t think I can be more specific very quickly.
